This is an important step, because previously nature was held to have no 'standing' against which to seek legal action.

Think Like A Forest

In the forest there is no such thing as garbage! Everything works together without harming anybody.  They find ways to get along because they need each other.  Pierre talks about how people can learn to think like a forest.

When we think like a forest, we seen many things newly. We see that waste does not exist, we can make our own food, and we can take only what we need - no more. We see that all living things have a right to live their lives, too. We see how to live together, and we see how to run a business - all by thinking like a forest.

There is a restoration happening everywhere. Pierre invites you to action for your highest aspirations for a better world. In the affairs of humanity there is a tide of possibility, seen in places like the Global Marshall Plan, the Millennium Promise, and Green Design.

May you act now for the purpose of a new common ground with all people, goodwill towards all life, and the better world we have always dreamed of.
